Modeling of Biological and Social Phases of Big History
P. 111–150.
In the first part of this article we survey general similarities and differences between biological and social macroevolution. In the second (and main) part, we consider a concrete mathematical model capable of describing important features of both biological and social macroevolution. In mathematical models of historical macrodynamics, a hyperbolic pattern of world population growth arises from non-linear, second-order positive feedback between demographic growth and technological development. Based on diverse paleontological data and an analogy with macrosociological models, we suggest that the hyperbolic character of biodiversity growth can be similarly accounted for by non-linear, second-order positive feedback between diversity growth and the complexity of community structure. We discuss how such positive feedback mechanisms can be modelled mathematically.

The development of musical abilities, including absolute pitch, musical memory, rhythm sense, and musicality, at a high degree is determined by a hereditary component (up to 68 %). The studies implementing a genome-wide linkage and association approach to musical aptitude have revealed more than 100 genetic loci. This spectrum is comprised of the genes encoding ...

In this paper, Grinin et al. survey general similarities and differences between biological and social macroevolution and phases of Big History. The comparison of biological and social evolution is an important but (regrettably) understudied subject. The authors have endeavored to make a systematic comparison between biological and social evolution at different levels of analysis and ...

The paper studies the relationship between the state of world’s biodiversity proxied by the Living Planet Index and the frequency of financial crises, conditional on global economic growth and the total number of biodiversity-related environmental policy instruments, during 1970–2018. We find that the increased frequency of banking crises as well as triple crises, i.e. simultaneously ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have predominantly mirrored neurotypical brain architectures (NBA), optimizing for efficiency, predictability, and standardized cognitive patterns. However, non-neurotypical brains (NNB) exhibit unique neurochemical, hormonal, and functional mechanisms that underpin divergent thinking, creativity, and alternative problem-solving strategies. Drawing from evolutionary biology, we emphasize how neurodiversity serves as a critical mechanism for adaptability, survival, ...

High heterogeneity of the conditions of socio-economic and demographic development within the territory of Russia has led to the emergence and consolidation of differences in population changes. In this paper we propose one of the possible variants of typology of territorial units of Russia according to the peculiarities of demographic dynamics for more than half ...

Modern academic literature has focused on technology adaptation and innovation in politics and public administration. At present, there is a large number of studies, the central object of which is such an actively developing phenomenon as public digital services. Despite the diverse range of theoretical approaches, there is no established methodological tradition of modelling the ...

Cardiovascular diseases associated with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) levels are significant contributors to total mortality in developing and developed countries. Mathematical modeling of LDL metabolism is an important step in the development of drugs for hypercholesterolemia. The aim of this work was to develop and to analyze an integrated mathematical model of ...

Objectives. A quick cold start of emergency and auxiliary power units based on diesel engines should be possible at any time without
problems and in the shortest possible time. The condition of the engine oil is one of the most important factors influencing the smooth
start-up of power plants. During diesel engine operation, engine oil accumulates soot ...

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an effective tool for ecosystem assessment. However, it is challenging to apply in an urban environment due to high levels of noise pollution. There is a lag in the number of studies applying PAM in an urban context, and such application therefore lacks proper methodological guidance. This study aims to ...

We propose a mathematical model of the human cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The cardiovascular segment of the model simulates the main heart rate, oscillating blood pressure, peripheral vascular resistance, and nonlinear dynamics of the autonomic control of circulation, namely α- and βsympathetic and parasympathetic control. The respiratory part includes central pattern generator, lungs, and a ...

The heat exchange equations during granulation, taking into account convection, heat conductivity in solid phase and Stefan conditions on the boundary of phase transition, are presented. The relationships characterizing correlation of ...

The paper studies protest campaigns consisting of both days with protest activity and days without activity. A dynamical agent-based model has been constructed. Numerical experiments showed that repression reduces the surviving probability of the campaign, but moderate repression may increase the turnout for the campaigns that survive. ...
